Speaker 1 (00:01):
Four. What would you talk about on your on your
podcasts show? Can we start recording? Can we start sometimes? Yeah?

(00:23):
All right, starting? Who's got something to talk about? I
thought it was so cool talking to Richard from NCL today.
I know, I was fascinated. I'm like, are you on
the originally the original Broadway cast recording? Are you be
like after we get off the air, like if such
a theater geek? But why did you not pursue that theater? Yeah? Um,

(00:46):
I don't know that. My dad, Like, you know, I
said to my dad, Oh, after college, I'm going to
pound the pavement, and you know we aren't paying for college,
you know, you know, you get that whole spielzo. And
then I think I started working here my junior year
of college, and I kind of was like, well, do
I give this up or do I go pursue that.
I mean I did audition for Walt Disney World. I mean,

(01:06):
there was a whole bunch of things going on. So
I decided to stay here and it worked out. So
all these Broadway shows they always bring in like I
don't know, Anderson, Pam Anderson, Yeah, why couldn't we have them?
Bring on Danielle Naro I don't think Pam Anderson Danielle
Naro very similar. That's not so believe. Maybe you had

(01:26):
more talent than her. I don't know. I don't know
about that, But hook didn't. Greg t cameo and Beetlejuice. Yeah, yeah,
brought in a couch. So they had a bunch of
us going do foot loose. I think on Broadway, Yes,
I think this is before like there's a lot more
restrictions now because of like the Union and stuff. But
we went down there and we had to learn the choreography,

(01:47):
and we had costumes and everything. We were in a
whole scene and we all were dancing stuff. It was
actually pretty cool. Oh it was a while ago. It
was a while, all right, Danielle. They come to you
today and say, we're putting you in a Broadway show tomorrow.
What show would it be? Wicked? Who would you play?
I would like to be Alphabe that's the Witch and

(02:08):
you and you have to quit this show to do it.
You have to lose a leg. Now now it's getting interesting, exactly.
You gotta go one up here? Would you Switt if
you could do it all over again from the beginning,
would you? Because you I know you're a theater buff. Now,

(02:28):
I know because I just I know, because I know
how my career goes, so I would not want to
change anything. Plus, eventually your body starts to hurt. Now
you just sit on your end. Yeah you heard what
he said. He's saying his body hurts. Yeah. Well, I mean,
especially if you're a dancer. I mean you your feet.
I mean I was never a dancer, but like I've
seen dancer's feet. They are disgusted, gnarly. Yeah, like those

(02:52):
are all crooked and broken. Why are we looking at
Scotty because every time he los his microphone he does
it in such a dramatic fashion. Dude, what do you do?
Very loud? Yeah loud? I don't know. All right, that's
a great question. Actually scary regrets. If you could go
back and redo anything, what would you do regrets? I've

(03:13):
had a few, you know, see, I'm an anomaly. I
had my eye on the prize. I wanted to do radio.
I used to call up radio stations as a kid,
called the request lines, try and win prizes. And then
you know, the second I had a chance to do
it in college, take internships, I did it. I did
it all. I wanted to do something in entertainment, radio

(03:34):
or television. I gravitated toward radio and I never looked back.
And I'm one of the few people that I look
at in my life that is doing exactly what they
wanted to do since they were nine years old. And
I know that is not the case for most people
in my life. I talk about this all the time
with people. I feel like radio is a hobby that

(03:54):
I just get paid for. Who's the bigger Who's the
bigger radiohead? Between you and Scottie b Because Scotti Bet
was the same growing up we're around. Yeah, yeah, we
followed the same path, I know, But who's the bigger one?
You mean? I invited the entire morning show at WPLJ,
including Jim Kurtim bar Mitzvah you did. Yeah, you went
up me on that. Nobody came and my theme, my

(04:16):
bar misva theme was radio, so it was every table
was a different radio station. Really yeah, ok, yeah, you
dressed up as a walkman. Well, I mean that I
was already working in radio at that. Pamet let me
let me just kind of get a little granular then
for both of you guys, I mean, you're both a
part of a very huge, successful show. At some point,

(04:37):
do you wish you would have tried your own thing
and done your I know, Scottie, you tried. Yeah. I mean, look,
I love this job more than anything. I love radio
more than anything. But sometimes I wish I was just
a cop or a firefighter, so I would be retired already,
you know, with a big pass. That's where I differ.
I wouldn't trade this for the world. And I feel
him look at me right now, and I'm just I'm

(04:59):
doing it. You never issue would have done your own
thing like you're You're happy being a part of this. God. Yeah,
I'd rather be a small fish in a smaller fish
in a bigger pond than a big fish in a
small pond, only because I've heard the trials and tribulations
from all of you people who've been around. What about it? Okay?
So that I have no regrets? What about he? No regrets? Um, No,

(05:20):
other than wanting to be a maleman. Yeah, oh my god,
I'm sorry. A letter carrier. I would have loved that.
I'd be almost retired by now. It'd be great. When
do male carriers get to retire, well, I mean they're
twenty years or I don't know. My letter carrier is
a little older, so I'm not sure what they do.
But I know cops, so I think by the time
you're forty five year out. Yeah, for most departments, it's

(05:41):
twenty years an now. Yeah, hey, Elvis is here. See
I told you this would happen to us. I felt
really awkward sitting in this chair, like here we're talking
about regrets. I had a few, that's what we're talking about. Regrets. Well,
you know, we were talking about Danielle and the thought
that if she had gone into Broadway, she wouldn't have
done but she wouldn't have changed the thing right in
her life. What regret is such a waste of time

(06:03):
is it's not regret like what could you have done
in your life? I wouldn't exactly call it regrets, but
but Scary and Scotty both are doing exactly what they
wanted to do from a very young Mitzvah had like
a like a radio station theme. Yeah, every he's such
a good he invited Jim Kurt wispar mitts. Yeah, I'm

(06:25):
the same way. This this is what I wanted to
do when I was You never wanted to do Broadway, Like, no,
this is the only thing I've ever wanted to do, right,
what about you? I mean, I definitely love doing this,
This is amazing. But what would you be doing and
do you regret not doing it? I don't think. I
don't know what else I would be doing. I always
just used to want to have fun for a living,
and that's what we get to do every day with

(06:45):
a really group, great, great group of people. So I
don't really have a regret. I mean, maybe I would
have made every mistake that I've made in my life sooner,
so then you learn faster and you can get onto
the good stuff faster. But aside from that, I mean,
you can't do that though, and it all leads you
to the place you are. You never know where your
life's going to go. Like when I was eighteen, I
applied for the sanitation department of the town of Oyster

(07:06):
Bay and they didn't hire me. So now I'm in radio,
which is funny because you get grossed out by the
things that like are on the counter for you picking
up trash. I don't see you picking up trash at all,
because you're retired now. You would be retired if i'd
a third day at work, but I'd be retired that
we're pathetic, Scotty. You wanted to be a copper or firefighter.
Can we all just imagine that for a moment. Me, Yeah,

(07:26):
pulling up on a scene with a gashed head. Oh
my god, back up. He would run away from every
scary situation. Can someone else get the bad guy? Please?
That is you want cracker right there? Absolutely, you are
the ultimate cracker? Is this what you've always wanted to do? Entertainment?

(07:51):
I grew up playing on the set of Regis Thing
Kelly Kathy Lee because my mom worked at ABC. So
at the age of five, like after the morning show
would be done, I would go downstairs and host my
own talk show on this on that set up until
like the age of fifteen, and then I went to
a bowling alley and I met Elvis well Country. He

(08:12):
was very young. Yeah, this kid come here to me
and said, Hey, I'm going to be an intern in
your show. I said, well, how old are you? He said,
I'm in school high school. Well, you gotta get in
touch with this when you're a little older. So I
waited a year until I got into college, and then
I called him and then here he comes. Yeah, Rabs
Country Lanes, Little Garrett, Staten Island, just Staten Island. Yeah,

(08:33):
what about you. I wanted to be a doctor when
I was younger, well kind of doctor. I wanted to
be either a cardiologist or emergency medicine. Cardiology. You need
both of them every day every day. But also you
wanted to be a priest, didn't you. I did want
to be a priest when I was in second grade
because Sarah Foster and Christina to Placido, if I remember that. Yeah,
they were fighting over me. I'm like, I can't have this.

(08:55):
And your answer to that was let me join the person. Yeah. Really,
that's the way to reasons. I show that I wanted
to be actually a doctor in the Navy, believe it
or not, because I always my father, my grandfather, they
were all in the military. I wanted to be in
the military. Couldn't with my heart problems. You have quite

(09:17):
a list of things that you were considering. And then
I wanted to be an actor too. Yeah, and then
my my backup plan if I didn't become an actor
was to become a police officer, much like Scottie. Imagine
these two pulling up to a scene of a crime.
No very authoritative. That's just like a movie of like
slap nuts. And I just kind of fell into this.

(09:37):
I never dreamed of doing this for a living. I
enjoy it, I like it, I love it. I just
never thought i'd do it when I was twelve, you know.
But no regrets, no regret, no regrets. So any regrets Otherwise?
I really want to be a Disney voice. But I
don't think that's a regret. It's a goal. Yeah, me too.
I think we should audition together. Let's go just make
your own animated film. Okay, so maybe I have one?

(10:00):
Do it? Is that it? Yeah? I walked into the
room thinking regrets, and I started thinking of things and
choices I made in life. I wasn't thinking of careers. Okay,
well care to go down that road. No, I have
no regrets. I really have no regrets regretting, you know,
not the career thing, but regrets, it's just it's a

(10:20):
waste of your time. Ye, Why regret anything you I
did some things in life maybe I shouldn't have done.
See I don't. I learned from it. Yeah, gret is
just a lesson anything I've done. If I have any regrets.
It's not taking more chances. Right, we're not dead yet.
I know you have chance. I thank you. Let's go,
let's look at a job at Disney. Let's do it. Seriously,

(10:41):
life's too short. So the motto today is have no regrets,
do what you want to do. Is that the motto? Yeah, yeah,
that's the motto. All Right, we're done. I thought i'd
come in here and make an appearances. I thought you
regret joining the podcasts like I commit here and just
shut it down. Anyway, there you go, The fifteen minute
